Questions and answers
Can I become self-employed after phytotherapy training?
Self-employment after extensive phytotherapy training as a phytotherapist is possible, but not profitable in all cases. It should be noted that method number 145 (phythotherapy, western) can only be registered with the EMR by doctors or in combination with other method groups, such as Ayurveda (method no. 24) including Ayurvedic remedies (method no. 26) or naturopathic practices NHP naturopaths (method no. 131), or Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM (method no. 185) including Tibetan Medicine (method no. 189) or Phytotherapy TCM (method no. 14). If you have not registered any of these methods or are not a qualified doctor, you may find it difficult to generate and retain patients, as you will not be able to bill through the supplementary health insurance schemes. An EMR-recognized training or ASCA-recognized training in the field of alternative medicine or alternative naturopathy is therefore an important criterion for successful self-employment as a therapist.
Do I need previous medical knowledge for herbal medicine training in phytotherapy?
In Switzerland, herbal medicine training courses with a focus on phytotherapy, as part of naturopathy, are offered by various schools in different courses. Some of these courses are aimed exclusively at people from the healthcare sector with previous training in conventional medicine, while others are aimed at anyone interested, even without any previous knowledge of medicine or alternative medicine. Therefore, please contact the providers you are interested in directly and ask about the target groups of the individual herbal medicine training courses.
What do you usually have to bring with you to become a phytotherapist?
To become a phytotherapist, you usually need the following:
- Completed basic education or high school diploma
- Phytotherapy training
- good powers of observation
- communicative strengths and empathy
How can I train in the field of medicinal plants and herbs?
Courses in phytotherapy/herbal medicine are part of many naturopathic training programs such as Ayurveda, Traditional European Medicine TEN or Chinese Medicine. Each of these medical systems includes extensive application knowledge about the effects of medicinal plants (medicinal herbs). Many of these courses can also be taken individually and there are individual providers who specialize exclusively in herbal medicine. The courses are therefore suitable for career changers in the health sector as well as for professionals with training in naturopathy or conventional medicine. They last one to three years. The course modules are spread regularly throughout the year so that the plants can be observed over the entire annual cycle. The courses conclude with the school's own diplomas, most of which are recognized as continuing education, further training according to EMR or ASCA for people with a recognized previous education.
